“I'm perplexed that you point out abuse levelled against JK Rowling, but you do not cite the abuse against trans people and their allies”

I'm gonna be honest, when I saw the news about RBG last night, aside from it turning me from "stressed but managing it now" to "DEFINITELY NOT managing it now", it made me wonder why I was doing a run in Big Bad Game-a-thon. What was the point, really, in a time like this?
But having actually done my run, I feel like I get it now. Giving people something to take their minds off things in turbulent times? Definitely a good thing to do.

So, the thing I was nervous about this morning? (My first-ever run in a gaming marathon?) Went much better than I expected or hoped for. That made me happy for sure. :D
And now that I have that out of the way and got a bit more sleep, I'm starting to process last night's news, and... yeaaaah, shit's fucked. D:
But I still have some positive energy from having SOMETHING go right, even if it's something small. Small solace, but I'll absolutely take it.
